The film 'Anakonda - Giant Snake' has left a bad impression on viewers about the legendary 'big' python of the jungle Amazon. However, Robot Anna Konda is a means to help people not small.

On the design, this is a kind of solid robot, made up of burners, moved by 20 hydraulic motors at the joints of the burners. This robot was developed by SINTEF of Norway. It has a length of 3 meters and weighs almost 70 kilograms, the equivalent of an adult Anakonda snake.

To move, the motor can only operate under water pressure of 100 bars (100 kg / m ² ) provided by the 'solid' longitudinal tube . The motor connected to the pipe through the valves. This design allows the 'solid' to have enough power to climb stairs, lift the car off the ground as well as 'chisel' walls.

The design team is developing a system that can control the movement of the robot remotely.

This robot can replace people in many dangerous jobs such as fire, marine research as well as fire prevention. Water for this 'Snake Robot' is 'vast', because out of water, it also 'sleeps' .
